Pope Leo Will Spend July 4 Visiting Migrant Crossing Island Pope Leo has spoken out against the treatment of migrants in the United States several times over the last year.

JD Vance personally invited Pope Leo to the U.S. 250th celebration on the 4th of July. Today the Vatican announced Leo will be spending the day with migrants instead.

There’s some talk about creating a joint letter from AMS alumni to Inboden and Davis. I don’t know what it would do beyond register disapproval but worth doing, perhaps.

Devastated to learn that Univ of Texas at Austin is closing the American Studies dept. The years I spent there earning my PhD were formative, making me the teacher, thinker, and writer I am today. I've passed on what I learned at UT to thousands of students over the past 20 years. Just awful.

Same, PhD from AMS in 2017. Gutted.

I have my doctorate from the Dept. of American Studies at UT and taught there as a lecturer. My former colleagues have joint appointments across AADS, WGS, MALS, and so many other departments impacted here. I'm so mad.

It's just so obvious that he likes people, and it's weird that that's a differentiator among politicians these days

Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio)
Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio) YouTube video by Bruce Springsteen

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

My boxing coach always tells us that punches aren't always going to land (much less land cleanly!), but you still have to throw them to keep your opponent busy. Otherwise they'll punch you in the face.

The @democrats.org would do well to remember that lesson.
